PRESS RELEASE

INTERVIEW

At forty, Helen Kendall is divorced, full-figured,
and big-haired. She enjoys working at the Pick’n Pay and running the show until
sleazy David Hoffman becomes the assistant manager. Helen’s plan to get David
fired includes her older sister’s help. Mavis says, “No,” because the last
fiasco infuriated her husband and tarnished her reputation at church. Mavis
resists until her best friend, Wanda, communicates from the beyond concerned
about her godson’s push-animal parties and a drug-related murder.

Unbeknownst to the Kendall sisters, undercover
DEA Agent Dewey Blackmon is investigating the drug pipeline running through
Forsyth off I-75. Dewey suspects David is laundering drug money through the
Pick’n Pay.

These two plots converge when a casket of money
and drugs at the Pick’n Pay storeroom makes the body count rise. The loyalty
and love between family, friends, and partners in small-town America is
threatened when two strangers carrying guns come to Forsyth…

Carly
Redmund, a Mobile, Alabama, police recruit is about to mess up her first major
crime scene. Her training officer, J.C. Grey, orders her to give up the
evidence found in the bottom of a well, a high school class ring. She does.
Grey tucks the ring in his pocket. What happened to the bag-it-and-tag-it
evidence procedure?

Carly is left guarding the crime scene tape as a news van
pulls in and the crew sets up. She overhears the female reporter tell the
cameraman that the bones in the well might be Terence, a missing African
American kid from the '70s, and that heads need to roll at PD, the racist SOBs.
Why hasn’t Carly read about this case?

As she remembers the initials TWW
inscribed on the inside of the ring, Grey walks back and tells the rookie to
keep her mouth shut, and he’ll handle everything, including the report. That
doesn’t make any sense. Rookies handle the grunt work. Grey is hiding more than
the ring. If he doesn’t put the ring in the property room, Carly will be
blamed. She could lose her job. Worse, she could be charged with withholding
evidence.

Carly is in big trouble. What Carly doesn’t know is that a white
supremacist group is involved -- and also mayoral candidate Derrick Grey,
Officer Grey’s brother. While dealing with her own personal demons, Carly must
learn to survive in a hostile environment, develop friends fast in a new city,
and solve a cold-case murder to bring justice to a grieving mother.
